Is the inspector required to inspect window and through-wall air conditioning units?

The inspector is not required to inspect window and through-wall air conditioning units because these types of units are generally considered accessory equipment and are not part of the primary home systems, such as heating or central air conditioning. Home inspectors focus on essential systems and components to assess the condition of the property, and window/through-wall units fall outside the scope of a typical home inspection. Additionally, these units can vary widely in installation and function, making them less critical to evaluate compared to more foundational systems in the home. Their inspection is generally seen as optional and is often at the discretion of the inspector or based on specific agreements with the client.
